The graph shows that this web site averages about 200 visits per day. However, the post headlined AFL drugs scandal has bolstered the daily visitor count to 4000.

This shows the extraordinary public interest in the issue of drugs in sport. It also supports Channel Seven’s argument, I believe, that the Victorian Supreme Court should lift or at least modify its ban on media coverage of the latest revelation.

I can’t support suppressing the club’s name and certainly can’t see how that could possibly be in the public interest.
